Why a Bead Circle in Southeast Asia?
- Long a crossroads of international trade, Southeast Asia has been importing beads from far-off lands for millennia, Those beads have much to tell us about ancient connections between people.
- Southeast Asia has furnished bead materials and made beads for thousands of years. Many people in Southeast Asia treasure heirloom beads.
- We are interested in Southeast Asia and believe beads have much to teach us. We hope you agree with us. We believe a study group on this topic is overdue. We are trying our best to help it come into being.
- We need your feedback, your comments, your encouragement and your help. Let us know of others who may be interested.
- We are most interested in your reactions. We welcome submissions for the newsletter. We also welcome any donations.
- Our goal is to form a group devoted to beads in Southeast Asia, and link that group with the newsletter and thebeadsite.com. Eventually we plan to open a Museum of Southeast Asian beads.
